Searching a person of interests house
It's my understanding they have obtained a warrant and are instituting a search of someone associated with the RV.
Anyone have more details than this?
CBS, AP and NBC have reported
(in reply to fischbobber)
CBS, AP and NBC have reported it. CBS named the individual, a 63 year old white male. ATF and FBI were recorded searching his home in Antioch, near Nashville. Internet sleuths found google street photos of a similar (looked like the exact) RV on his property in the past. It was not there today. Officials declined to name the individual at today's press briefing, but their remarks suggested they were looking at someone. Also, there was no mention of a manhunt. There is unconfirmed speculation that the possible human remains found at the scene may be the bomber's. Internet sleuths (and possibly one news outlet, don't recall exactly) found that the individual transfered ownership of his residential property to someone else approx. one month ago. His relationship to that person is unclear. Sketchy news reports say the FBI instructed that person not to speak to anyone about it.
It appears we will have the full story tomorrow or the next day, because it seems law enforcement officials are unable to contain it and will need to make a statement. Until then, all else is speculation by cable news "experts."
The motor home can be seen at
(in reply to R. Neal)
The motor home can be seen at 100 block of Bakerstown rd. Nashville on Google Earth Street view. This isn't the address just where it can be seen from
CNN now reporting officials
(in reply to fischbobber)
CNN now reporting officials say it was a suicide bombing.
Lone wolf?
(in reply to R. Neal)
Does it look like he was acting independently, or rather was he tied to some organization?
Either way, it doesn't bode well for inspiring others.
Don't know. We will have to
(in reply to fischbobber)
Don't know. We will have to wait and see.
It seems he may have worked
(in reply to fischbobber)
It seems he may have worked or owned (unclear which) at a custom alarm business and he was paranoid that the new 5G technology was being used to spy on people.
Hmmm.
(in reply to JaHu)
Interesting. I hope none of the people watching Glenn Jacobs video last summer went of the deep end like this and have been spending this kind of detailed time consuming project for Knox County. Those sorts of recruitment techniques are SOP for recruitment and motivating acts like this. It's going to be a dark spring.
That's all we need is the lone wolfers going off the same time the organized come after us. Buckle up, buttercups.
Hopefully this is a wake up
Hopefully this is a wake up call to ATT and others that the phone system needs better redundancy. If one place goes bad throw a couple switches and re-route. I know it's a little more complicated than that but.

"Officials said that Anthony
"Officials said that Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, of Antioch, Tennessee was confirmed as the bomber and that he died in the bombing.
Officials said that DNA testing was conducted on tissue that was found at the scene. They said that there was no indication that any other person was involved in the bombing, after reviewing footage and evidence gathered after days of investigating efforts."

Still no determination as to motive.
Is it just me?
(in reply to R. Neal)
Or is it almost starting to look like a really elaborate suicide?
